YASMIN-SAN
DIR. Edmund YEO - Malaysia / Japan - 2017 - 70'
SYNOPSIS |
|
YASMIN-SAN follows Japanese director Isao Yukisada as he shoots PIGEON, a Japanese-Malaysian co-production about an old Japanese man in exile. It also examines the remnants of the Japanese occupation two generations later, bringing together a Japanese crew who knows Malaysia through Yasmin Ahmad’s films, and a Malaysian crew who knew her personally.
The main actress of PIGEON and Yasmin’s muse, Sharifah Amani guides us through Ahmad’s life and works, and considers the influence it has exerted on Malaysian filmmakers. YASMIN-SAN is a look into filmmaking, unity, fate, and history through the influence of Yasmin Ahmad, one of the most celebrated modern Malaysian directors.
